Former 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh sent out this tweet Sunday night, perhaps in reference to the team he led to a Super Bowl prior to a “mutual parting of ways” that brought him to MI.

A decision by club owners John Mara and Steve Tisch is expected soon on the 69-year-old, victor of two Super Bowls, who may even retire after his team missed the play-offs for the fourth season in a row. “I strongly believe the time is right for me and my family, and… the Giants organization”.

A Lombardi Trophy every five years is an achievement in which we all take great pride.
Metro takes a look back at the key moments in what was likely Coughlin’s Giants finale.
The Giants’ third straight losing season is a fate that hadn’t befallen the franchise since it had eight straight losing seasons from 1973 to 1980.
“Because they played a whale of a game, they get to experience that feeling you get when you win a football game one last time”. “I’m so proud of the guys in that locker room, the way they rallied around Pat”.
With that said, it was in the Giants’ best interests to let Coughlin go upon the conclusion of the 2015 season.
“It’s always nice to end the year with a win”.
The veteran coach had been with Big Blue since the start of the 2004 season, the same Eli Manning entered the NFL.
Manning is locked in to a long-term contract that was signed this offseason, and he might be one reason why this job could appeal to several candidates. “We have a great relationship and great trust, and I appreciate the way he works, I think he appreciates the way I handle my business to play quarterback and get ready. He is an example of how you should handle your job and love what you are doing”. MLB Jasper Brinkley led NY with nine. Most, as usual, appeared on defense as the Giants could neither cover tight ends at key times or keep Sam Bradford from mounting extended scoring drives.
The Giants qualified for the postseason with a victory in their penultimate game of the 2007 regular season, then won three consecutive road playoff games to advance to Super Bowl XLII.
The 49ers avoided their worst record since going 4-12 in 2005 during coach Mike Nolan’s first season and with Alex Smith as the rookie quarterback.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Tom Coughlin has walked off the field surrounded by photographers and camera crews many times in his 12 years with the New York Giants.
Leading 35-30 with 1:43 to play, the Eagles needed one final defensive stand to preserve their seventh win in a mostly lost season.
Actually, this might have been one of Coughlin’s best years as a coach. Coughlin’s Giants upset the previously unbeaten New England Patriots 17-14.
Tom Coughlin met with his coaching staff early Monday afternoon and informed them that he was stepping down as the Giants head coach after 12 seasons.
It was interesting to watch the Eagles on Sunday and try to pinpoint things that wouldn’t have happened if Kelly was still the head coach. “You go back and see those close games that we needed to be in the playoffs but we didn’t finish it off. We played the best of the best and like I said those close games really count”. “He embodies the beliefs of this organization and everything the New York Giants stand for”.
“I’m happy we won, I’m happy we ended on a good note and I’m happy Marcus got a sack”, linebacker Brandon Graham said.
